  Genuinely: what do you know about effective protesting? Are you speaking from experience as a successful organizer who got legislation passed or local policies reformed due to your activism? Do you have sociological papers on the phenomenon maybe, are you a journalist who investigates this? Your criticisms would have more weight if I had a better idea from which the experience you had to make these criticisms.

    This is called "ad hominem". Make a counterargument, rather than attacking the person.

      I genuinely want to know their experience in organizing to get better context as to their expertise. They are the one making claims about what works and doesn't work. I don't know jack shit about organizing, so I'd like to know if I should take their opinion as an educated one or a layman.

      Asking for one's credentials on a topic before assessing their claims is not ad hominem.
